One of our lucky customers who was able to secure a custom PC order with the first round of stock of the GTX 1080… an absolutely beautiful colour scheme to match. We’re extremely glad this was ordered so we were able to feast our eyes (and camera lenses) upon it!
The much anticipated GTX1080 Founder’s Edition arrived into our capable hands earlier this afternoon and we took no time at all to take some photos to share them with the world. We only received a small number due to the limited number of units that were allocated to Australia as a whole, as such, we sold out of them last week. The next shipment is due this week or early next week, and will have a larger number of units. From then on, things should get more steady and potentially cheaper, too.
Onto the pictures!
A serious gamer with a serious budget, spending over $10,000 on the PC alone. This PC sports the best Intel CPU (5960X) and 2x the best Nvidia Graphics cards (2x GTX Titan X) along with a whopping 128GB of DDR4 RAM and a shocking 1.5kW (1,500W) power supply, excuse the pun. It definitely goes down as one of our most powerful builds to date, but we expect that will be surpassed pretty soon thanks to the new generation graphics cards just around the corner…
Onto the rest of the pictures!
One of our recent customers who was all about the aesthetics of the build, while also addressing adequately the performance of the system. This customer had a long string of emails back and forth between our staff about perfecting every last detail of the build, down to colour of the power supply cables (green) and setup of the green LED fans. Our staff were more than accommodating of each and every one of the emails and requests, resulting in a 5 star review on our Facebook page!
We’ll soon be offering the sleeved coloured power supply cables as part of our PC builder, but until then, you can speak to our staff about any custom requests you have.
Now, onto the rest of the pictures!
Like with most of our changes recently, this comes after weeks upon months of customers contacting us for custom PC solutions to their personal and/or business needs. Lately, we’ve got a large amount of requests from people who want Xeon CPUs, and also Quadro graphics cards. It took our web team and technicians a couple of days to flesh out the details and come up with two highly polished “Workstation” PC options for customers to customise on our website, as our customers have come to expect from us.
The use-cases for such systems are plentiful if our customers’ requests are anything to go by. Either of the above PCs, customised to suit, would work well for the following (but is by no means limited to):
As with just about anything else technology related, the most amount of money you can afford to spend will yield the best results in terms of the least amount of time required to render your projects, or least amount of time required for calculations to be made.
All our PCs are customisable, so you can have as much or as little performance as you need without having to jump to a completely different set of hardware like some other PC retailers would have you do when buying “pre-built” or “pre-configured” systems. Want a better CPU, sure! More RAM, done! Different storage configurations, easy! Water-cooled CPU, no worries! WiFi adapter, on-site warranty, operating system, SSD/HDD, up to 1000W power supplies, case options… All at the click of your mouse with live PC price updates so you’re not left guessing or needing to contact us for a quote.
We also offer options to get the PC to you quicker. Our standard turnaround time for a custom PC build is 5-10 business days* until a PC can be dispatched (available for customer collection or courier collection), but “Jump the Queue” sees that time come to under 72 hours*, and “Need it NOW!” drops it down to 48 hours*.
Of course, if you do find yourself with questions, you can contact us with your requests or concerns and our friendly support staff will be glad to help you find a solution.
* Once payment clears and stock allows (note “Special Order” or “Pre-order” items) and excludes weekends/public holidays.
This PC was over $8,000 – expertly customised by our customer using the Pro PC Builder, where you can select which brand and model you want specifically, if you know what to do. Along with this PC, two 4K monitors were ordered. Let’s just take in the beauty from the photos below…
Our ‘Pro’ PC Builder has only been active for a few weeks, but we’ve already got lots of orders streaming through, customers selecting their preferred brands and models of motherboards, RAM, graphics cards, power supplies, and hard drives/solid-state drives (SSD). Tip: To enter ‘Pro’ mode, select either the Valkyrie or Ragnarok PC and click customise, then find the option to go pro by clicking the links scattered under the component lists.
These two ultra-premium products are from one of our customers who bought from us using the pro builder. For those who don’t know, the Sea Hawk is a graphics card from MSI which comes factory water-cooled! Pictures below…
Yet another Skylake system in the NZXT Source 340 case – a quick look at our build queue proves sound evidence that this series of case is a popular choice among our customers at least. It’s no real surprise, with good looks, lots of space for radiators and large graphics cards and with a reasonable price tag, it was also the choice of case for two of our very own staff members who both recently bought gaming PCs for use at home.
The DeepCool range of liquid CPU coolers was also a very popular choice for our customers last month, we don’t expect that to change in the coming months either!
Our mini Skylake system; Ryu, wrapped up in the ever popular BitFenix Prodigy case. A very reserved build with plenty of room for upgrading the CPU, graphics card and power supply if needed in future, but as it stands with a 6400 CPU, Z170 Gaming Pro with AC WiFi motherboard, 8GB of DDR4, a GTX 960 and a 500w power supply, it will be a great gaming system for years to come, all for the very reasonable price of $1580 including assembly. Create your dream gaming machine.
